Got the Runs?

Weigh In: 286 (new low!)
Calories Counted: Pending

Ok, a few things to talk about today.

First off, I dropped 2 more pounds yesterday. I'm trying not to get too high on it, because we all know how this works by now, but it's refreshing to see lower numbers. Obviously, I'm thrilled with this, and my fire is starting to return. Funny how success breeds desire sometimes, when it should be the other way around.

Also, I think I'm going to be doing another few 5ks and other runs coming up here soon. Nicole, my buddy Jim's wife (thanks Nicole) forwarded me over this link that gives me all the races that are run for good causes in the state of Michigan. So, there's a few coming up. Kristen, you were talking about running one, so if you want to coordinate to meet up with whoever else wants to go, we can make that work.

Depending on how things work out, I'd like to do two of them that are going on in this next couple weeks. I need to figure out what my plans for this Sunday are, but there's a 5k run sponsored by the Livonia YMCA. Ironically, there's a pancake breakfast waiting for you when you get done, so I may have to keep running. Also, on July 1 there's a 5k race that runs right through the neighborhood a few miles south of me in Clawson. Ironically, the race starts about 5k away from my house, so maybe they could just change the route and end up at my place, and we can throw the worlds biggest BBQ ;)

So, that's my day. Races being planned, weight falling off - what a different a few days makes.

That's awesome. You've inspired me with the 5k. In fact, I'm planning on attempting my first 5k tonight on the treadmill. Last week I ran straight for 2.5 miles at 5.6 mph, so today I'm going to try for 3.2, what the hell!

Don't make the same mistake I did. 3.1's a 5k, not 3.2.

Go for it, Billy. There's a sense of satisfaction with just finishing.. even if you have to stop running and just walk it. Hell, I probably still walk a third of the race - but I finish, and that's what matters. Let us know how that goes.

3.1 miles. Even better ;)

You never know when the turn around's gonna come. But the only way to find it is when you keep pushing. Hat's off to you for pushing it!
